Equity Stakes in Zilo and Licuido Anchor the Ripple XRPL Stack
Ripple announced strategic investments in two UK-based firms, Zilo and Licuido, on August 3, 2026, converting existing commercial partnerships into equity positions and adding regulated transfer agency, digital issuance, and collateral mobility to its capital markets infrastructure on the XRP Ledger.
The investments address the gap that has kept most institutional tokenization projects in pilot mode: a tokenized fund share is only useful when it can be financed, pledged as collateral, and settled against cash with legal certainty, capabilities that require regulated ownership records, compliant issuance rails, and atomic delivery-versus-payment settlement, precisely what Zilo and Licuido supply.
This news dropped as XRP USD trades for $1.07, up around +0.5% over the past 24 hours. This continues its modest run over the past seven days, with the token up +1.7% in the past week. Daily trading volume sits at $965M.
